[01:25] <safehazing> hi there, i'm interested in contributing to ubuntu wiki by making a laptop testing report. I have an IBM X31 now there is already a page up on the X31 but it is about a year out of date is it ok to just go ahead and edit this page?
[03:01] <crimsun> safehazing: yes, just note it clearly
[03:09] <safehazing> thanks
[10:38] <Edulix> hi!
[10:59] <Pnquin007> Is here any owner of laptop Acer Aspire 3650?
[11:08] <vimalg2> Does anyone here know about VIA-epia based laptops
[11:12] <Pnquin007> vimalg2: Which laptops are VIA Epia based? I don't know anyone
[11:15] <vimalg2> try googling for ECS G320.
[11:15] <vimalg2> Its based on EPIA more or less
[11:15] <vimalg2> Lots of clones of that one available for around $500
[11:16] <vimalg2> It shares most of the EPIA issues with Linux.
[11:16] <vimalg2> Kernel modules are OK.
[11:17] <vimalg2> But the C3 Nehemiah processor has extra features like Hadware AES encryption+Pseudo-Random number generation that dont come with stock kernels
[11:18] <vimalg2> Plus the display controller is a VIA CLE266
[11:18] <vimalg2> Via released the source code only in Feb after over 3 years of pesering by viaarena.com Linux community
[11:18] <Pnquin007> vimalg2 I'm in battle with Acer Aspire 3650. Sound works, but i can't set volume and microphone does't work. ATI200 chipset. Ugh
[11:19] <vimalg2> Hows power management?
[11:19] <vimalg2> Doe your laptop lid work correctly
[11:19] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: Mine is erratic. Its all thanks to ACPI implementation
[11:20] <Pnquin007> Power management does't work good too :-(
[11:20] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: Thankfully  USB2/0 gives me close to 15Megabytes/sec transfer on 2.6.x kernels
[11:21] <vimalg2> Via has some wierd cross-licensing with M$ that pervents them from giving USB2 drivers for download directly.
[11:22] <Pnquin007> vimalg2, Sorry for my english it's not my natural language
[11:23] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: I can hardly tell. Neither mine dude
[11:23] <vimalg2> :D
[11:24] <Pnquin007> vimalg2, But i think, Your laptop isn't real laptop, it's deskop replacement. How long is running time on battery?
[11:25] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: EPIA is non-power intensive.. I get about an hour of regular use while on IRC
[11:25] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: the cpu scales back to about 400Mhz though
[11:26] <Pnquin007> Hmm, my processor doesn't scale speed, when i use battery. On MS Windows yes, but in Linux no :'(
[11:27] <vimalg2> I havent tested battery-life on Linux yet. I send it into hibernate/standby, coz the blackouts here can last upto 5-6 hrs
[11:28] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: Can you  get 2d+3d acceleration drivers from ATI for the x200?
[11:30] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: My only resource is "openchrome" project. They have hacked and reverse-engineered 2d+3d drivers. Cant wait to try it out
[11:30] <Pnquin007> vimalg2, I don't play games and don't need xgl... I'm developer. That means, that i didn't try ATI drivers. I use drivers from X.org only
[11:31] <Pnquin007> they work properly
[11:32] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: I don't need XGL/beryl or any of that fancy crap either, I just dont,like the way the windows leave a shadow when they get dragged across a desktop
[11:32] <vimalg2> It can be very annoying
[11:32] <Pnquin007> :-)
[11:32] <vimalg2> lol
[11:33] <Pnquin007> http://www.last.fm/orsm
[11:33] <Pnquin007> Eee, sorry...
[11:33] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: Plus , I'd like to try out Q3 and see if it can get better FPS than 10 on Linux. lol
[11:33] <vimalg2> Just for kicks
[11:33] <Pnquin007> vimalg2,  i know
[11:34] <Pnquin007> I've only few games, but they need MS Windows or Winex ... Formula 1 Grand Prix and NHL 200x
[11:35] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: My reflexes arent what they were at 15. So no point in deathmatching against 12yr olds. They can all pwn me :D
[11:36] <Pnquin007> vimalg2, How RU old?
[11:36] <Pnquin007> Me 33 Years
[11:37] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: Someday in the future i'd like to see a REAL quality piece of work like warcraft 3 or Microsoft Flight simulator in an OpenGL version. Just dreaming
[11:37] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: I'm 22 going on 32
[11:37] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: Do you work only with OSS tools for development?
[11:42] <Pnquin007> vimalg2, No
[11:43] <Pnquin007> For my employer i'm using Borland Delphi and C#.NET
[11:44] <Pnquin007> i'd like to use java, but firm policy is .NET
[11:45] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: Have you tried Mono for C# on linux. They're supposedly compatible with DotNET v1.0
[11:45] <Pnquin007> Where do You come from
[11:45] <Pnquin007> But not compatible with .NET 2 and there are problems with WinForms
[11:46] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: The southern tip of India
[11:46] <vimalg2> Pnquin007: ah. I see. So its Pure win32 development then
[11:48] <Pnquin007> vimalg2, Yes You're right. It's Only Win development only for my emplyeer
[11:50] <vimalg2> gotta go
[11:51] <vimalg2> bye room
[02:22] <Pnquin007> I've problem with sound and ACPI o Acer Aspire 3650 (Intel Celeron, ATI200 chipset). Laptop sounds, but i can't setup volume, microphone is off. ACPI doesn't send informations to programs which a don't wanna run on battery and when i close display, laptop doesn't susspend.
[03:21] <raffytaffy> hi
